Netflix’s ongoing growth will result in a considerable financial boon for Reed Hastings, CEO of the video streaming service. Following a year in which the company’s shares quadrupled in value, the AP reports that Hastings will see a 50 percent pay bump for 2014. A recent regulatory filing shows Hastings’ annual salary will jump from $2 million to $3 million in 2014. Coupled with an increase from $1 million to $3 million in Hastings’ annual stock option allowance, Hastings’ total compensation will double this year.
